pyobjc-framework-AVRouting

What it is and what it does

pyobjc-framework-avrouting is a thin Python wrapper around Apple's AVRouting framework, part of the broader PyObjC project. It allows Python developers on macOS to interact with the native AVRouting APIs for controlling audio routing behavior. The package provides direct bindings to Objective-C classes and methods without adding a separate documentation layer—users must consult Apple's official framework documentation and PyObjC's translation guides to understand how to use the exposed APIs.

The package depends on pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa and is distributed as compiled wheels for Python 3.10 through 3.15 on macOS. It is actively maintained and supports current Python versions, making it suitable for macOS-specific audio applications that need programmatic control over routing.

Use it for:

• Control audio input/output routing in macOS desktop applications from Python
• Build audio management tools that interact with system audio devices on macOS
• Integrate AVRouting framework functionality into cross-platform Python apps targeting macOS

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides Python bindings to Apple's AVRouting framework on macOS, enabling audio routing control from Python code.

Yes, if you are developing on macOS and need programmatic access to audio routing. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive license, and supports modern Python versions. Install friction is moderate due to macOS-only availability and compiled dependencies, but that is inherent to the use case rather than a package defect.

Install

pyobjc-framework-avrouting on PyPI

pip install pyobjc-framework-avrouting

uv add pyobjc-framework-avrouting

poetry add pyobjc-framework-avrouting

Installing pyobjc-framework-AVRouting

Before you install

Medium friction: macOS-only wheels for Python 3.10–3.15, requires pyobjc-core and pyobjc-framework-Cocoa. Active maintenance with recent releases (3 days old).

License in practice

MIT license permits commercial and private use with minimal restrictions—suitable for most projects.

Quickstart

pip install pyobjc-framework-avrouting

from AVRouting import AVAudioSession
# Use AVRouting framework classes via Python

macOS 10.9+ required; runs only on macOS, not Linux or Windows

Verify before relying

• Whether AVRouting framework is available on all supported macOS versions (10.9 and later per wheel naming)
• Specific audio routing capabilities exposed by the wrapper beyond framework availability
